Mechanical engineering and Naval product development and design
Based on a national framework plan: 
National curriculum framework for Bachelor of Engineering
Duration:
3 years full time study
Degree:
Bachelor of Engineering
Entry requirements:
General college entrance requirements with additional qualifications in Physics (2FY - 2 yr) and Mathematics (3MX - 3 yr)
Aims and objectives:
To educate mechancal and naval enegineers highly competent in product development and design. The engineers shall
-have interdisciplinary competence necessary to perform product development in a systematic manner.
-be able to collaborate and communicate with colleagues in multidisiplinary product development processes.
Teaching methods:
Teaching methods are practical product development projects, labs and lectures. Methodology and project oriented approach are particularly emphasized in this programme. Practical product development processes which emphasize creativity and innovation is major part of the study. This is carried out in labs where the students develope their own products from ideas to prototype. In this way the students develop professionall skills.
Lectures and traditional labs are used to supply the knowledge base.
Many of the subjects also require the completion of individual projects and group projects.
The faculty makes extensive use of lab work, internet and web technology in creating an active and challenging learning environment for the students.
Structure and activities:
Each year of study is divided into two semesters, with the following main structure:
Year 1:
Basic courses, math, physics, statics, material science, design and product development.
Year 2:
The student choose to go into mechanical or naval product development and design.
Year 3:
The studens may choose spesialisation in one the following directions :
- Naval and Marine technology
- Mechanichal technology
- Marine Enginering
The specialization is finished by the completion of a main project (small thesis).
